A Relational Therapist at heart, my work with clients, individuals and groups - who’s background is often one of abandonment and neglect, aims for the experience of earned secure attachment as template for new neural growth allowing for a shift in relational style with self, others and the world at large. I pursued a wide array of studies with many gifted teachers exploring and accumulating knowledge of healing trauma and it’s impact on individuals, their family and their community. I also bring to our work together understanding of and extensive work with my own trauma history. My quest through the last twenty years results in an eclectic collection of skills and “tools” my work grounds in. I work in private practice in Boulder as unlicensed psychotherapist. A native of Germany I work in English and German with equal comfort.

I specialize in treating people who have sex and love addiction and compulsions. I have 13 years of experience in human sexuality, 7 specifically as a therapist providing recovery work for sex and love addiction. I also work with partners of addicts who have their own painful journey from the fallout of the addict's disclosure, the broken trust, shame,and codependency that surfaces from their relationship to the addict.I provide a reliable,responsible and time tested recovery method where people can turn their problematic sexual behaviors from destructive unmanageability to healthy, passionate sexuality.

I have 13 years of experience as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner helping people transform their trauma. I hold a Masters in Transpersonal Psychotherapy from Naropa University and have completed levels 1 and 2 of training in brainspotting. I believe in loving my clients and trusting in their inherent capacity to heal.
